	Communications Security Establishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When intercepting communications between a domestic and foreign source, the domestic communications are destroyed or otherwise ignored (however, after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, the CSE's powers expanded to allow the interception of foreign communications that begin or end in Canada, as long as the other party is outside the border).
		CSE was established in 1946 as the Communications Branch of the National Research Council, and was transferred to the Department of National Defence (Canada) in 1975 by Order-in-Council.
		The CSE and the information it gathered and shared was secret for 34 years, when the CBC program the fifth estate did a story on the organization, resulting in an outcry in the Canadian House of Commons and an admission by the Canadian government that the organization existed.

	DND/CF : Annual Report of the Communications Security Establishment Commissioner
		My views about cse are based not only on my own observations but also on the hard work of people who know the intelligence community and are familiar with the complex technology that is part of its day-to-day environment.
		However, I have observed that cse's activities are driven not by the capabilities of the technology it deploys but by its mandate to fulfil the foreign intelligence requirements established by the Government of Canada.
		In the three years I have spent as cse Commissioner, I have concluded that a fundamental distinction must be made between the activities of a domestic intelligence agency and those of a foreign intelligence agency such as cse.

	Security (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A condition that results from the establishment and maintenance of protective measures that ensure a state of inviolability from hostile acts or influences.
		Security measures improve the likeliness of expectations to be met, and therefore improve security.
		Another side of this is a phenomenon called security theatre where ineffective security measures such as screening of airline passengers based on static databases are introduced with little real increase in security or even, according to the critics of one such measure, CAPPS with an actual decrease in real security.

	[No title]
		Since progress in automation continues to reduce the number of staff in CSE's Communications Centre and other support roles, the number of analysts at CSE is actually likely to have increased since the end of the Cold War.
		It is likely that Russia remains CSE's predominant target, but the agency's gradual move into embassy collection and the intercept of satellite communications indicates that new targets have also been added over the past decade, such as the often hyped, but in my opinion almost certainly overblown, "economic" targets.
		The CSE Commissioner can be reached at: Office of the Communications Security Establishment Commissioner P.O. Box 1984, [that's right, 1984] Station 'B', Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1P 5R5 The Commissioner's first annual report was released in April 1997.

		The Chief of CSE is accountable to the Deputy Minister of National Defence for financial and administrative matters, and to the Deputy Clerk (Security and Intelligence, and Counsel) in the PCO for policy and operational matters.
		In fact, whenever CSE representatives are pressed on these issues in public, they stress that they do not act in violation of the rights and freedoms of Canadians and are fully accountable for their expenditure of public funds.
		Because the CSE is such a secret and secretive government institution, however, it is almost impossible for outsiders to evaluate the reliability of such reassurances about the exercise of its functions.

	Industry asks: What price security?
		The more secure the system, the more difficult it is for law enforcement agencies and international electronic monitoring agencies such as the federal government's Communications Security Establishment to track and control illegal activities.
		Furthermore, promoting the use of Canadian security and communications solutions versus solutions from other countries gives the Canadian government intelligence agencies visibility, access, understanding and control of solutions deployed internationally.
		With respect to the encryption of real-time communications, I believe it's the opinion of the group that current laws and procedures should remain.
